What are the precautions for the storage and transportation of flammable liquids?

1. For flammable liquids with flash point lower than 23℃, the warehouse temperature shall generally not exceed 30℃, and low-boiling varieties must be cooled and refrigerated. Store in large quantities (such as benzene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) ) can generally be stored in storage tanks. Storage tanks can be stored in the open air, but cooling measures should be taken when the temperature is higher than 30℃. Mechanical equipment must be explosion-proof and have grounding devices to guide static electricity.

Two, loading and unloading and handling, it is forbidden to roll, friction, drag and other operations that endanger safety. It is forbidden to use iron tools that are easy to generate sparks and wear shoes with nails when working.

Three, generally not mixed with other dangerous chemicals. A small amount of bottled flammable liquids in the laboratory can be stored in dangerous goods cabinets according to their properties, and items with conflicting properties such as oxidants are not allowed to be mixed in the same compartment.

Fourth, it is best to enter and leave the warehouse in the morning and evening in hot weather. In the process of transportation, pumping and filling, there should be a good grounding device to prevent electrostatic accumulation. Tank cars transporting flammable liquids should have grounding chains, and the tank body can be provided with perforated partitions to reduce static electricity generated by vibration.

Five, the vast majority of flammable liquid vapor has certain toxicity, will invade the human body from the respiratory tract, causing harm. Special attention should be paid to the packaging of flammable liquids. Ventilation measures should be strengthened during operation. In summer or in case of fire, the vapor concentration of air poisoning increases, and more attention should be paid to prevent poisoning.
